New Book Release: The Zombie Book

The Zombie Book: The Encyclopedia of the Living Dead by Nick Redfern and Brad Steiger

Rampaging, driven, killing machines.

Soulless and dead. Infected and infectious. Zombies. The epidemic of the living dead is stronger than ever in today’s pop culture, but long before exotic viruses, biological warfare, and sinister military experiments brought the dead back to life in our cinemas and on our television screens, there were the dark spells and incantations of the ancient Egyptians, the Sumerians, and the Babylonians. Blending the historical with the modern, the biographical with the literary, the plants and animals with bacteria and viruses, the mythological with the horrifying true tales, The Zombie Book: The Encyclopedia of the Living Dead is a comprehensive resource to understanding zombies. More than 230 entries cover everything from hit television shows, books, and movies to zombies’ ignominious role in folklore and mythology. Learn about mad cow disease, the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the Centers for Disease Control preparing for the end of the world, and much, much more. This is the definitive guide to zombies from two experts on the unexplained and paranormal.
